Green Pushes Impeachment Against Trump | Salt Lake City News

Texas Rep. Al Green has formally introduced an impeachment article against President Trump, accusing him of abusing executive power through deadly immigration enforcement operations that killed U.S. citizens. Green claims the president has weaponized agencies like ICE and CBP into unaccountable paramilitary forces, threatening American democracy. With just two legislative days to act, Republicans may block the motion or delay it, but Democrats are pushing forward — citing four alleged crimes including unjustified killings and suppression of free speech. The controversy led to a historic 76-day DHS shutdown, ending only after Congress reopened the department without funding for ICE or Border Patrol — a move Republicans later reversed. This is not the first time impeachment has been attempted against Trump; he was impeached twice before and acquitted both times. Though Green lost his primary and won’t be in office next year, Democratic leaders say impeachment remains a viable option if they regain control of the House — with investigations into abuses of power continuing as a key priority.
